"Penis." :lol:
Yeah, Tyr.
Will not instead of would not. Would not is past-tense, will not is future-tense. So "will not" (won't) is correct, while "would not" (wouldn't) is incorrect.

Err hell...
would (FUTURE)
modal verb
1 (ALSO 'd) used to refer to future time from the point of view of the past:
He said he would see his brother tomorrow.
They knew there would be trouble unless the report was finished by the next day.
We realised it wouldn't be easy to find another secretary.
2 would have used to refer back to a time in the past from a point of view in the future:
We thought they would have got home by five o'clock, but there was no reply when we phoned.
Or is just that "would not" is past but "would" is future? that or you just messed up xD
Lol read my post again Tyrael, you confused yourself somewhere.
WILL not is future-tense. WOULD not is past-tense.
That ^ is what I said. To clarify:
Wouldn't = Would not.
Won't = Will not.
I'll add quotes to the sayings in my post, so when you read it again, you can better understand. You can look at where you quote me in your post, and then look at my post again, and see what changes I made as well. After I added the quotes:
"Will not" instead of "would not." "Would not" is past-tense, while "will not" is future-tense. So "will not" (won't) is correct, while "would not" (wouldn't) is incorrect.

Yeah i got confused but not from your post, actually my first reply was
Oh yeah! i knew there was something cheesy about "wouldnt", but i didnt notice that part, thanks hell. :lol:
Then i did a search for "would" and thats what confused me.
All clear now, but still how comes "would" its future and "wouldnt" its past. (thats the part that confused me)
Well, I was talking about in that instance only.
Tyrael, even English people have very poor English. It's not completely their fault, as the people around them that have poor English are the people they learn theirs from to begin with. Then there are accents and what have you.
Would is basically the past-tense of will. Except in some cases, usually in the use of the "IF" word. I don't know where you did your search, but this should be more useful to you:

Yeah thanks, that one completely cleared it, im gonna bookmark that site for future doubts, or i could always post it here and have you look for it! :tease:, just joking xD.
Edit: Oh wait i just realized that i was wrong on the first reply to you, when i said you could have messed up, because i just read "would (future)" and since i was kinda lazy i didnt go on reading :fool: and seems you didnt read it either, lol.

And you, my friend, need to start reading my posts! :lol:
I told her some many times to just look at this forum or at least to the online english dictionary (she was sitting in front of a pc which of course has internet), but she wouldnt look because she said all online dictionaries are wrong and that you are all liars

To paraphrase Homer: "Don't you love it when people who can't speak English insist that they can?"
Original quote: "Don't you love it when nerds don't know that they are nerds?"

Her reaction shows she knows and accepts your answer as truth, but appears as though she is in denial about being wrong.
